ESCAROLE WITH PERSIMMONS, POMEGRANATE SEEDS, AND LEMON-SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE

Escarole with Persimmons, Pomegranate Seeds, and Lemon-Shallot Vinaigrette image

For this salad, look for Fuyu persimmons, which also may be labeled "ready to eat." They can be eaten while they are still firm, unlike the larger Hachiya persimmons, which can only be eaten when very soft.
